Dmitry Medvedev joining Elon Musk in a call for the abolition of the EU captures fifteen years of Kremlin information warfare since Ukraineâs EU Maidan, and encapsulates the story of Trojan Horses

(59,594 posts)And The New Soviets (if I say "NS" for short, the coincidence is NOT a coincidence, see 1923-1945) want to put a STOP to it? EU bureaucratic inefficiency is about the only thing left standing between a Europe ready to stand up to Putin and Trump and the bureaucratic mess they have now. Musk and Putin (Medvedyev) should give thanks for the mess of n opposition they have now, and not a an alliance of loosely federated countries small enough to really want to do something about them.

(105,402 posts)But the papers most disturbing thinking is reserved for the US favorite bete noir: Europe. The echoes of Vice President JD Vances corrosive speech in February at the Munich Security Conference run through two pages which accuse without evidence European allies of suppressing free speech and democracy, while crippling their own economies through over-regulation. It claims a majority of Europeans are denied democratic expression of their desire for peace with Russia a reductive take on a continent eager to avoid another conflagration, and seeing the Russian threat manifest itself in sabotage across their capitals.
The strategy borrows from those on Europes extremities when it dips into the racist great replacement theory to state that Europe faces civilizational erasure.
It is more than plausible that within a few decades at the latest, certain NATO members will become majority non-European. In other words, Europe will be less White, will therefore turn on Americas alliances when they are unrecognizable in 20 years or less and not necessarily strong enough to remain reliable allies. It goes further, to suggest the remedy of cultivating resistance to Europes current trajectory within European nations a nod to overt interference.
Russia is spared, unsurprisingly, similar criticism, and deemed a relationship worthy of strategic stability. The US is familiarly cast not as a NATO ally to Europe, but a mediator to mitigate the risk of conflict between Russia and European states. It slams European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war perched in unstable minority governments, where popular desire for peace is trampled by censorship and the suppression of democracy (a false premise).
